The 4th of July Parade and Celebration is a colorful event filled with old-fashioned fun. Balloons, clowns, floats, beauty queens and an incredibly patriotic scene of red, white and blue made this fun-filled day to remember a delightful experience for kids young and old.

To highlight the special event, there's a Vendor Expo fashioned after the popular expos held during the US Open of Surfing, the NPPL Paintball World Series Competition, Senior Saturday, Duck-a-thon, and even the weekly Farmer's Market events held at the very same location on Pier Plaza each Friday.

In addition the showcase which include SeaCliff Shopping Center, SoBe soft drinks, a Real Estate office, chiropractic care, food such as frozen lemonade and kettle corn, there was a kiddie's fun zone in downtown Huntington Beach on Main Street. Children enjoyed moon bounce rides, coloring contests, clowns, poster signing and so much fun they stuck around after the parade.

The fireworks show was launched off the Huntington Beach Pier south of Ruby's Surf City Diner.  The 20+ minute show was staged with solid firings of fireworks displays shot straight overhead.
